3M™ VHB™ Tape 4910 is a 0.040 inch (1.0 mm) thick clear double coated acrylic foam tape with PE film liner. The general purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides bonds to a broad range of high surface energy substrates including metals, glass and easier to bond paints and plastics. The clear tape is good for bonding transparent or translucent materials or for applications where colorless is a benefit. 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4910 is part of the 4910 tape family. Each product in this family has general purpose acrylic adhesive and firm foam but varies in thickness.
FEATURE
- Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability
- Virtually invisible fastening keeps surfaces smooth
- Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welds, screws) or liquid adhesives for transparent applications
- Clear, 0.040 in (1.0 mm), general purpose adhesive and clear acrylic core
- Eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding and associated clean-up
- Creates a permanent seal against water, moisture and more
- Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength
- Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials
APPLICATION
- Joining transparent material
- Mount backlit translucent signs
- Edge-bond resin filled glass
- Metal, glass and high surface energy (HSE) substrates
- Decorative material and trim
- Nameplates and logos
- Panel to frame
- Stiffener to panel
